It was felt that the skill ‘parry’ should be made more distinct from a weapons ability to parry. The issue was people with a commonly available sword rolling a six and forcing their opponents to re-roll their five or four in the hopes of them rolling a fumble. This is pretty powerful and could see huge swings in combat scores thanks to a relatively cheap weapon.
So it was decided to nerf the sword and make it only parry a roll that is higher. This caused a problem with the ‘parry’ skill though, as the skill didn’t need nerfed, just the weapon ability. So it’s name was changed to ‘deflect’ to make it distinct from the parry rule.
The end result is-

Balancing-wise I think that nerfing Combat skills is a step in the wrong direction. And changing it to just parry, would make my H2H gang worse.
I do not have an issue with the current wording, but if someone feels that it is problematic, and can come up with a better wording, then no harm is done.
